Home Stage Season 2 Brings Southeast Asian Music Lovers Together

Recently Eksentrika served as media partners for Eccentric Event Management, a group of highly enthusiastic students from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) who organised Home Stage Season 2.

The objective of the competition was to bring awareness to the latent talent available in Southeast Asia and at the same time bring joy to millions who were at home due to the pandemic while learning the ropes on how to organise events.

The virtual singing competition, held in June, drew a total of 1,500 viewers via live streaming and received an excellent response. The participants were from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, and they competed for six weeks, each with a distinct theme given by the organiser.

Naya brought home RM900 cash prize along with an official plaque from Home Stage Season 2.

Meanwhile, Fajar Putra Wicaksana, also from Indonesia won third place at the competition. He performed a stunning cover of Jaclyn Victor’s “Gemilang” which won him praise from Malaysians.
